v-tec?
i am just curious... do anyone here lets the v-tec kicks in during everday driving.... i personally never let engine revs over 3500 rpms... i don't even remember when v-tec kicked in last time....may be months...lol

not always whenever im bored. mine hits at 4500rpm always. i only wish it was a 6 speed so i could keep it in vtec range...that would be sick. but u can alaways use the tiptronic to keep it about 4500. oh and also vtec kills gas big time, my mileage goes down 15mpg from ~25mpg if i keep doing that!

getting on the freeway when traffic is doing 80 in the slow lane~
helps to use it to keep the sliders all clean and lubed
run seafoam thru oil for 30 minute drive before a change too, that cleans those parts as well

Forgive me, my Integra is non V-TEC and I've only had my TL for about 2 weeks now.
Could someone please elaborate on how one would notice the effects of it apart from simply stomping on the gas and not having V-TEC?

depending on the vehicle, the effects will be little to moderate. its not like a shot of nitrous..
the sound of the engine changes upon crossover.. and there is an ever so small thrust (on certain series motors)..
the older model cars with B, H series etc. seemed to have a bit more pop..
the crossover seems to have gotten more smooth over the years with newer cars.

completely agree parasurfer..
mine Lude engages around 5k
and my TL was right after 4k
the lude, as you might guess.. hits like a sledgehammer compared to the TL.
not that i ever push it that hard anyways..
